I think people are making the decision to buy a home way too complicated in present day.

The only thing that really should matter is (1) can you really afford to own and (2) where you can afford to own, do you really want to live in that area for a few years or are you just making compromises so you can say you own a home.

There’s a dozen or so things that can happen that makes trying to get the most optimal price on your primary home in hindsight not a big deal.

The only concern you should have really is if you can really afford what you want.
